Need suggestions fro ReadyBoost Setup
Ok, I've currently 512 MB RAM installed in my PC, with Vista Ultimate Edition.
I'm thinking of buying the Kingston DataTraveler ReadyFlash(Enhanced for Windows ReadyBoost) in 1 GB size. I would like to know, if this is the right setup... because, currently Kingston is offering in "1 GB" and "2 GB" only(for ReadyBoost). If that's the right setup, what are the best settings for that setup? Regards, Sher.

Need suggestions fro ReadyBoost Setup
When you plug in your USB memory stick MS Vista will take a quick look at it
to see if it is ready boost capable. If it is then you are offered a choice of whether you want the ready boost or not and then you choose how much of your memory stick you wish to use for the ready boost. regards Robert "Sher" wrote in message ...

ReadyBoost is not an addition to RAM. It provides a "boost" to page file
usage (Virtual memory). "Sher" wrote in message ... Ok, I've currently 512 MB RAM installed in my PC, with Vista Ultimate Edition.

You'll get a bigger performance boost by buying another 512M of RAM.
ReadyBoost speeds up disk paging, but more RAM reduces the need for it, which is even better. Staiger

Get more RAM. Do not think that a USB thumb drive used in readyboost mode is
a replacement for what you don't have. Any Ultimate PC I have seen in the stores have 2 gig of RAM installed. You need a lot more than what you currently have. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

If your only reason for getting the USB key is for Ready Boost, it'd be a
better idea to put that money into either another 512MB or 1GB of additional RAM. If you need a USB key to transfer files, as well, then the 2GB would work better (~1GB for Readyboost and another 1GB for your files to transfer). -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com -- "Sher" wrote in message ...
